importing 720×480 footage into a 1920×1080 project
hello
If i am working on an HD project (1920×1080)
and the client wants to incorporate some footage from DVDs and other miniDV tapes (720×480) into the project. what is the best way of doing it? is there a process that can enhance the footage, or its going to be the same than importing the footage into Final Cut and resizing it?thank you

Hardware upconversion is the way to go for this.
The AJA Kona 3 is quite good, though you will still get jaggies on some MiniDV footage and the DVD footage. A shop with a Terranex Upconverter is even better.

While I agree that hardware is a nice option,
I thought I’d introduce a $200 solution before adding one that would set him back $5K for card and storage.
If the poster would like to include more details… perhaps we can tailor a solution that best fits.

Just change the settings to 1080i instead of 720p.
